EAO, the expert partner for innovative, intuitive and reliable
Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), offers critical safety con-
trols which are uniquely compact, robust and reliable. The
Series 61 compact emergency stop switch is especially
suited for handheld control units, or can be mounted, within
easy reach or directly onto a machine. The switch reliably
protects people and equipment against injury and damage.
Control panel design for equipment, devices and machinery
provides many challenges to manufacturers. They need to
produce easy to use, intuitive controls that are both com-
pact and also capable of withstanding harsh industrial use.
Depending on the application, they may need to protect
the controls from attack by chemicals, from dirt ingress or
cleaning by high pressure water jets.
The Series 61 E-Stop compact satises the needs of use,
through rigorous material selection and a robust build quality
that meets IP69K, the highest degree of protection against
dirt and dust ingress.
The product complies with the latest international standards.
The robust mono-block design has a fool proof, trigger ac-
tion mechanism to break the electrical contacts, and a green
indication ring to show whether the switch is actuated. Here,
the mechanically decoupled triggering of the switching ele-
ments should be highlighted in particular. The optional high
brightness central LED makes the product clearly visible,
even in low light levels.
Each switch can have up to three individual normally open
(NO) or normally closed (NC) switch contacts, a 27 mm or
40 mm diameter lens and optional 24 VDC LED illumination –
all within a compact 21.2 mm back panel depth.
In short, the Series 61 E-Stop compact is a robust, reliable,
low back panel depth switch – ideal for use in space critical
applications.
